the second reason I mentioned below is quite simple
I need to start picking the choices I make in my life based on what I want, and not what I feel other people want. I woke up the other day and realized that the last four years or so, I've made decisions strictly based on what I feel other people want, expect, or would like me to do, and never based on what I want.
and what do I want?
I have not a clue. I know I want to be successful and I know the field of work I want to be in, but thats it. Getting there is not going to work if im constantly going off on tangents based on desires that arent even my own.
I'm sure everyone at some point falls into the same trap I fell in, but I dont know how many keep falling, and falling, and falling into it. Sometimes not even directly said but what I think someone overtly wants of me. And why should I care. Theres a phrase "some people are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime", and right no very few make the lifetime category, so why should I care what 99 percent of the population thinks of me?
anyone have their two cents on this? catch ya soon :)
*raises glass* here here!
ReplyDeletethere is no reason you should care what everyon in the world thinks of you, unless of course you're being a giant jerk and hurting lots of people (somehow i cant see that happening).
keep your head up high, cos your a great guy and the people who realise that are the people you should listen to!

I've done this sort of thing before. I used to worry that people would think I was a bitch for saying no or not compromising etc. But then one day realised that the same people I was trying to please were doing exactly as they wanted to do with no regard for me. So start changing your mindset now! It's your life and your happiness at the end of the day. No one else's!
